Plugin: HomePageAddons - YouTube and Pandora

[davron94]

Open it with a text editor, not with whatever Windows wants to run it with.

Thank you, thank you! that worked! I'll try to reload the plugin.

Here is a pair of plugins that add YouTube and Pandora menu selections to the main menu.

HomePagePandora.plugin.js
Adds a Pandora icon to the main menu that starts Pandora immediately when clicked.
This plugin needs to be customized with your Pandora login email address before it will work. See the Readme.txt

HomePageYouTube.plugin.js
This will add a YouTube icon to the main menu that will open the YouTube menu.

Get both from here:

recliq let me know there was a much easier way to put submenu items on the Top Menu. See here:

Is there a known bug with the Pandora addon? after loading the plugin it works just fine from the homepage. As soon as I power down the unit and repower again, it will not pull Pandora from the homepage. I have to go into Music>Pandora to load the website. Is there any way to fix this? I have to reboot the unit every time I want it to work properly after shutting down. I am using B-rad's 1.02.21 0.5.1.1. on a WD Live.

thanks,

Can someone rehost HomePagePandora.plugin.js or post the code? Seems megaupload = DOA.

Read the posts from the link in your paste and you will be able to create this plugin yourself (it's the most simple plugin one can write for WDTVExt).

Well, I've tried, I swear I have. I've written in the Pandora code in it's own script like tkorth wrote it. I tried adding it into your Reboot.plugin like the rest of them are written. I've even tried adding it into the MediaFolder.plugin like tkorth mentioned. bleh

Reboot.plugin exerpt

Code: Select all

   // hide Photos top menu
   Menu.Top["$$Photos"].visible = false
   
   // add Pandora to top level menu
   Menu.Top.addChild(Menu.top["$$Music"]["$$Pandora"]["user@server"])
   
   traceln("RebootPlugin.doBuildMenus... done.")
}

PandoraMenu.plugin.js that I cobbled together

Code: Select all

/*

# meta-desc="Add Pandora to Top Menu"

# meta-version="1.0.0"

*/

var myPandora = new Menu("My Pandora","$$My Pandora","/osd/image/villa/home_pandora_icon_n.png","/osd/image/villa/home_pandora_icon_f.png", true);

MediaFolderPlugin.prototype.doBuildMenus = function() {
   traceln("MediaFolder: [ doBuildMenus ]")
   myPandora.handler = function(){
      Menu.Top["$$Music"]["$$Pandora"]["user@server"].handler()
   };
Menu.Top.addChild(myPandora);

MediaFolder.plugin.js exerpt

Code: Select all

MediaFolderPlugin.prototype.doBuildMenus = function() {
   traceln("MediaFolder: [ doBuildMenus ]")
   Menu.Top["$$Video"].handler = function() {
      Menu.Top["$$Video"]["$$Local Drives"]["$$Folders"].handler()
   }
   Menu.Top["$$Video"]["$$Local Drives"].title = "Movies"
   Menu.Top["$$Video"]["$$Local Drives"].image = Menu.Top["$$Video"]["$$Local Drives"]["$$Folders"].image
   Menu.Top["$$Video"]["$$Local Drives"].focusedImage = Menu.Top["$$Video"]["$$Local Drives"]["$$Folders"].focusedImage
   
}

var myPandora = new Menu("My Pandora","$$My Pandora","/osd/image/villa/home_pandora_icon_n.png","/osd/image/villa/home_pandora_icon_f.png", true);

   myPandora.handler = function(){
      Menu.Top["$$Music"]["$$Pandora"]["user@server"].handler()
   };
Menu.Top.addChild(myPandora);

MediaFolderPlugin.instance = new MediaFolderPlugin(scriptPath)
Plugin.registerPlugin(MediaFolderPlugin.instance)
traceln("MediaFolder: End loading MediaFolder plugin")


I'm wise enough to know when I'm out of my depth, I'm not sure where I've gone wrong but I've bungled it all up somehow! Teach me the error of my ways, good master, lest I be left in darkness forevermore.

You can't link to a list item within the pandora section as you can't link to a folder inside all drives. You're stuck one level above the dest folder you intetnd to use and there's nothing we can do about that because dmaosd compiles those list entries AFTER the plugin code to generate the menus is executed, so when you rebuild your menus in the plugin there is no eg. "user@host" menu entry in pandora.

The user@server in my scripts is just where I have my email address in my scripts to log into Pandora. Just didn't want the spambots to find my email address from my posts.

I guess I wasn't that far off afterall. Here's my working PandoraMenu.plugin.js plugin:

Code: Select all

# meta-version="1.0.0"
# meta-type="wdtvext"
# meta-url="http://"
# meta-filename="PandoraMenu.plugin.js"
*/

traceln("Start loading PandoraMenu plugin")

function PandoraMenuPlugin(path) {
    this.rootPath = path;
    traceln("PandoraMenu plugin : base path is " + this.rootPath);
}

PandoraMenuPlugin.prototype = new Plugin()
PandoraMenuPlugin.prototype.constructor = PandoraMenuPlugin;

PandoraMenuPlugin.prototype.doBuildMenus = function() {
   traceln("PandoraMenuPlugin.doBuildMenus...");

   //add Pandora
   var topMenu = new Menu("My Pandora", "$$My Pandora", "/osd/image/villa/home_pandora_icon_n.png","/osd/image/villa/home_pandora_icon_f.png", true);
   Menu.Top.addChild(topMenu);
   topMenu.handler = function(){
    Menu.Top["$$Music"]["$$Pandora"]["pandoralogin@email.com"].handler()
    }
      traceln("PandoraMenuPlugin.doBuildMenus... done.")
}
   
   
   
PandoraMenuPlugin.instance = new PandoraMenuPlugin(scriptPath)
Plugin.registerPlugin(PandoraMenuPlugin.instance)
traceln("End loading PandoraMenu plugin")

Nice tricks! I had no idea you could do this. I may try them on my wdtv as well (how did I live without them all these years?)
